Rejected petition Ban the creation and distribution firearms with 3d printers

More details

The government must take action to prevent the creation, and distribution of files related to the 3D printing of firearms. A number of digital documents have already circulated the internet which allow the direct creation of firearms with a 3D printing device. This poses a direct threat to public safety and also creates a new risk of terrorism. The creation, and distribution of these files must be made illegal.
